Hi everyone and welcome to my first blog entry. I’m Rosanne, but all my friends call me Rosie and I’m a stay-at-home Mom who has always loved craft and especially sewing. I started sewing doll clothes around 8 years of age and was so proud of my creations that I kept them hoping that when I had a daughter, she would play with them. Of course her dolls were a totally different size and shape to mine so none of them fitted and I had to make new doll clothes for her. Finding doll clothes patterns that would fit her dolls was not easy and I had to make lots of changes to patterns I bought so I drafted my own. I started sewing them just the way I had learnt over the years to sew children and adult clothes …. gosh I couldn’t remember making doll clothes being this tricky! After a lot of frustration and hours of trial and error, I started discovering great shortcuts and secret tips to making doll clothes so much easier and Alyssa ended up with a huge wardrobe for her dolls and I started my own very successful online business Rosie’s Dolls Clothes.

Because I’ve heard so many people say it’s too fiddly to make doll clothes, I decided to put together a video course How to Make Doll Clothes that shows all the secret tips that make sewing doll clothes super easy. I want you to enjoy sewing doll clothes for your child’s doll and I want to encourage young children back to the wonderful art of sewing. I have also decided to share my many doll clothes patterns with you and because I want you to make them with confidence, I have included videos that show you each step of the way. The Doll Clothes Patterns are downloadable so you can print them straight away and the instructional videos stream right to your own computer. I will be adding more patterns soon, so keep following.

Hi Sharon, yes it is a little difficult to make doll clothes when you don’t have the doll to try the outfit on. I have been told my patterns are a ‘true’ fit for the 18 inch American Girl doll however because they have a fabric body there are sometimes small variances in the measurements of the torso. I have the measurements of my American Girl doll listed on my Doll Sizing page. Happy sewing, Rosie.

“I've been sewing for many years, but when I came across Rosie's You Tube video I decided to check out her website. Once I did I signed up for the course, and I'm very happy I did, I'm now more confident sewing these tiny garments and some of these techniques I've incorporated into my normal sewing. Thank you Rosie I now have another way of using up my scrap stash.”

“When I first got Rosie’s videos, I couldn't stop watching! And, her techniques can be used in other sewing and crafting projects, too. Although I plan to teach my young granddaughters to sew oneday, older children can view the videos and get started on their own. Visual learning is great; play and re-play the videos. Thank you, Rosie!”

“I thought I knew how to sew but I learned a lot from Rosie's How to Make Doll Clothes video course. I now do a lot more flat sewing on other patterns and it makes such a difference. Also, her way of doing elastic is fantastic. I use some other patterns for doll clothes, but I always think about how Rosie would put it together and do it her way. Love Rosie and her great support.”
